Abstract: A wireless communication device identifies a preferable wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment using a search schedule based on information gathered by the wireless telecommunications network. The information may be related to prior registrations of the said devices or other devices.  The information may be used to establish the last location of the said device to within a cell and to project the likely location of the device when next powered up. Based on this information, an optimal search schedule may be designed, either in the network or outside of the network, and used by the device on the next power-up. The information or the search schedule may be downloaded to the device either over the air or manually. Additionally, the user may transmit to the network specific information on the user's next location and that information may be combined with other information gathered by the network in the design of a new search schedule for the next power-up of the device. The information or search schedule provided to the device may be changed dynamically to reflect changes in the location of the device or in prior usage history.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for supporting TCP/IP services in a cellular radio access network connected to a telecommunications network offering TCP/IP services. In accordance with the invention, the bearer service parameters required by different TCP/IP services are predetermined in the radio access network, the correct parameters for a given connection being selected by identifying the TCP/IP service on the basis of the content of the first IP packet received. Thus, different TCP/IP services can be handled in different ways in the radio access network and a bearer service that best corresponds to the actual needs can be established through the radio access network. This way, good service quality to the user is ensured and, furthermore, optimization of the capacity of the radio access network is made possible when only correct-type capacity is reserved for each connection.

Abstract: A diagnosis system for materials handling vehicles leads service personnel step-by-step through diagnosis and repair of faults within the vehicle. Faults are assigned corresponding event codes so that when a fault is detected, its corresponding event code is displayed. The event codes uniquely identify systems of the vehicle in which faults have occurred by having the event codes for a given vehicle system all start with the same number. Thus, the technician knows from the event code what system needs to be diagnosed/repaired and what tools and probable parts will be needed. The event code is used to access diagnosis information identifying the portion of the vehicle wherein the malfunction has occurred, the components which caused the malfunction and, preferably, provides a pictogram of that portion of the vehicle. The technician advances to the malfunctioning portion of the vehicle where another pictorial depiction of the components of that portion of the vehicle assists in locating the components. All components are marked within the vehicle by identifiers which are consistently used throughout the diagnostic information, pictorial representations and service manuals. The diagnostic information tells the technician what to do to diagnose the components with the diagnosis being preformed using the electronic control system of the vehicle to monitor inputs to and outputs from the electronic control system and to apply limited duration full power test signals to components to be tested. The diagnostic information is configured so that testing is done from the end of control paths back to the controller.

Abstract: A system operated by means of what is referred to as a clutch pedal is described, which adjusts the traction power of an infinitely variable, hydrostatic-mechanical transmission. The transmission contains at least one pump (1) and at least one motor (2), arranged in a hydraulic circuit. In order to reduce the traction power, pressure is leaked between the two sides of the motor (2) by reducing the pressure at the control parts (14a) of two proportional valves 14, 15 in respective lines bridging the motor (2). The control parts (14a) of the proportional valves (14, 15) are connected via a shift valve (19) to an intermediate valve (24), the closing force of which is reduced as the clutch pedal (26) is opened (by means of a closing spring (36)). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A magnetically coupled rotary pump has, in a pump chamber, a pump rotor mounted by a single slide bearing on a stationary axis of a pump bearing support. The slide bearing is formed on one side by a metal sleeve shrunk over the bearing sleeve, said sleeve being connected by means of a weld with the pump rotor, and on the other side by a bushing mounted on the pump bearing support or a one-piece slide bearing surface formed correspondingly directly on pump bearing support. With this design of the bearing, dead spaces and gaps are avoided, enabling complete cleaning and sterilization of the pump chamber with complete draining of the pump chamber. A pump of this kind is especially suitable for use in sterile applications.

Abstract: A piston accumulator can be used for hydraulically actuating the discharge unit in non-automotive bulk commodity vehicles. The accumulator cylinder has a tappet which can be axially displaced within the cylinder. When a defined load pressure is reached in the oil chamber of the cylinder, the tappet can be displaced by a piston to actuate a control valve. The valve serves as shut-off device for the loading fluid stream flowing to the oil chamber and is positioned as a detachable module on the exterior face of cylinder cover in such a way that it can be actuated by the outer end of the tappet. The tappet is guided towards the outside by passing in a sealed manner through the cylinder cover.

Abstract: This invention relates to a bi-polar transistor and a procedure for its manufacture. The task of the invention is to propose a bi-polar transistor and a procedure for its manufacture that eliminates the disadvantages of conventional arrangements for a simple polysilicon technology with differential epitaxy for the manufacture of the base, in order to further improve especially the high-speed properties of a bi-polar transistor, to produce highly conductive connections between the metal contacts and the active (inner) transistor region as well as a minimized passive transistor surface, and to simultaneously avoid any additional process complexity and increased contact resistance. This invention resolves the task in that, by creating suitable epitaxy process conditions, the polysilicon layer is deposited on the insulator zone with a greater thickness than the epitaxy layer in the active transistor zone. The greater thickness of the polysilicon layer as compared to the epitaxial layer is achieved by using a very low temperature for the deposition of a part of or the entire buffer layer. The use of a low temperature for the deposition allows a better nucleation of the insulator layer and a reduction of the idle time for the deposition. This allows achieving a greater thickness on the insulator layer as compared with the active transistor zone.
